Search being conducted in the area
BSF jawans started search operation in Sundergarh area after the incident. A contingent of BSF and police personnel searched the area, but nothing suspicious was found so far. Officials say that it is not right to say anything right now. Whether the recovery took place or not will be told only after the search is completed.
Drone actions on the rise
Drone actions have increased on the border. The movement of the drone has happened about 5 times on the Amritsar and Tarn Taran border itself. Last week, BSF jawans also recovered 4 packets of heroin and pistol from Pul Mauran near Amritsar border. Security agencies say that mischievous elements sitting in Pakistan can spoil the atmosphere of Punjab. Therefore, the security agencies have been asked to be alert.
